This release of the 1993 Indonesian Family Life Survey
(IFLS-1-PR) is a revised and restructured version of the Wave 1
data. This data collection provides a broad range of economic,
demographic, and health information at both the household and
community levels across 13 provinces on the islands of Java, Sumatra,
Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. A sample of 7,224
households was interviewed during August 1993 through January
1994. Household-level data cover topics such as household
characteristics, income, education of both adults and children,
marriage histories, inter-household transfers, pregnancy history, and
knowledge and use of contraceptives. At the community-facility level,
information was gathered from village leaders and heads of village
women's groups in each of the 321 enumeration areas (EAs) where the
households were located. Questions were asked regarding community
characteristics (transportation, water and sanitation, history of
schools, and availability of health facilities), nurses, midwives, and
paramedics (facility management and family planning history, vignettes
on types of care), and traditional health practitioners (buying or
making herbal medicines or using services of traditional
practitioners, rituals, and incantations). When the household data are
combined with the community-facility data, the 1993 Indonesian Family
Life Survey provides a unique look at areas of fertility, family
planning, infant and child health, education, migration, employment,
and the social, economic, and health status of over 7,000 households
in a diverse setting during a period of rapid demographic and
socioeconomic change.

As of June 2015, there are four waves of data for the IFLS. However, a fifth wave of data collection has begun. Please see the IFLS Web site for more information on how to obtain these data.
